Stark Barn is located in Odessa, Florida, a semi-rural equestrian community 20 minutes outside Tampa, Florida. The lodge fronts on a dedicated paved bike trail which traverses through protected wilderness areas and extends three counties north along the Suncoast Highway to Hernando County, Florida.
The Upper Tampa Bay Trail is located in residential northwest Hillsborough County. Although some missing links, eventually the Upper Tampa Bay Bike Trail will connects to the Suncoast Trail just one mile from Stark Barn. Eventually, the Tampa Bay Bike Trail will connect Stark Barn to St Petersburg, Florida when the missing links are complete.
The Suncoast Trail is a 42-mile paved trail that stretches from Hillsborough County through Pasco and ending in Hernando County. The shared path is owned by Florida Department of Transportation, Turnpike Enterprise, and operated and maintained by the three counties' Parks and Recreation Departments. The majority of the trail is in Pasco County which is 21.6 miles long.
This trail is part of Florida's statewide system of greenways and trails. You can explore maps and descriptions for this and other trails in Florida at their website. There are benches along the entire trail and some sheltered tables as well. You will find two wildlife viewing areas on the Pasco section of the trail. Current access to the trail is available at all crossing of public roads.
You will find certain amenities at some of the intersections such as a port-o-let, restroom, public telephone, water supply or cooler and four information kiosks
Stark Barn also lies within the Brooker Creek Headwaters, a 1,100 acre wilderness preserve that surrounds the Stark Barn property with hiking trails clearly marked by Hillsborough County. Deer and turkey roam the wilderness area daily and most times join our livestock in our farm property.
Stark Barn is one of two private properties within the Brooker Creek Headwaters. The headwaters preserve contain the largest area of contiguous natural habitat remaining in northwest Hillsborough County, public ownership of this preserve ensures protection of important wildlife habitat and the site's wetlands, which serve as the headwaters of the Brooker Creek system. This property includes a mosaic of forested swamps, floodplains and low-lying uplands. The uplands include pine flatwoods, xeric oak hammocks, and mixed hardwood and pine prairies.
Since 1993, Hillsborough County staff has performed a number of resource inventories that identified an abundance of wildlife and vegetation, some of which are considered threatened or endangered. For this reason, recreational activities on the property are limited to walking and hiking.
Stark Barn is conveniently located 20 miles outside Tampa, 30 miles from Clearwater Beach and St Petersburg and a short 10 miles from Tarpon Springs. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World are 1.5 hours travel time away.
The barn was said to be originally built by Major General John Stark for his son Caleb just after the Revolutionary War . John Stark was a Major General in the Continental Army who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and Battle of Bennington. Stark coined the inspirational state motto for New Hampshire “live free or die".
Caleb Stark was born December 3, 1759, at Dunbarton, New Hampshire. During the American Revolutionary War Caleb served with his father in the 1st New Hampshire Regiment at the Battle of Bunker Hill, Trenton and Princeton as an Ensign. After his father resigned his commission Caleb remained in the Continental Army, serving the rest of the war and rising to the rank of major. In 1787, Caleb married Sarah McKinstry. In 1811, Caleb Stark started the first cotton mill in Suncook, New Hampshire. Stark practiced law and became a historian, and a member of the New Hampshire State Senate. The term during which he served in the New Hampshire Senate lasted from 1818 to 1819. In 1828, he moved to Oxford Township, Ohio, where he would later die on August 28, 1838.
Come and relive history at Stark Barn; this is a very unique experience and a “must stay" as the 1776 era is depicted in pictures, books, antiques and in the spirit of the barn guest/lodge.
A book with the Memoir and Official Correspondence of General John Stark with Notices of Several Other Officers of the American Revolution written by his grandson Caleb Stark is available in each room for your reading pleasure.
Stark Barn offers a large stone front porch with rocking chairs all for watching bicyclers and joggers traversing on the Upper Tampa Bay Trail.

For us, this was the perfect airbnb find. We truly felt we were on vacation while staying at Marc and Laurie's place. We road for miles on the bike trail just a mile from the house and even used Marc and Laurie's bicycles, but we did bring our own helmets. The kitchen was just what we needed--and we loved the long kitchen window that made it so fun to look out while cooking and washing dishes. Our grown children so enjoyed the champagne that M & L left for us in the frig. It felt secluded but it is still in a populated area with a grocery store nearby (by car). High ceilings with ceiling fans and open areas added to the charm. We stayed 6 nights and found it all very relaxing.

StanJanuary 2016

This Keystone home is an awesome place to stay. It was tucked away in a wooded lot in a quiet neighborhood. I so enjoyed using the kitchen to cook meals. The internet was fast and the cable looked great on big LCD monitor. the way the house was setup made it so comfortable to be there and want to stay. I would suggest this house to anyone wanting a relaxing stay close to lots of activities.

JoabNovember 2016

We spent 17 days at the Keystone Country Home of Marc and Laurie. This house was even better than in the photos; It was beautifully furnished with great unique items from their store the Treehouse Gallery. We found it to be very quiet and comfortable. The proximity to the Winn Dixie grocery and to a Publix and the Citrus Park Mall was a great advantage. Marc and Laurie had made us welcome from the start by having yoghurt, fresh dairy, almond milk anc cereal stocked for use they had a very nice selection in the pantry as well. I have several family members near by and was able to make many dinners for them to come visit often. The large kitchen overlooking the yard was really enjoyable. Very comfortable beds as well. My only issue was the sound quality of the TV in the living room, as the high cathedral cieling caused some sound bounce. But I did enjoy the large music selection in the stereo closet and the built in sound speakers for that. Perhaps the TV sound could be routed to those speakers...LOL Interior Designer here. I had not stayed in this area befor and found it to be a nice surprise for how much I enjoyed it. As I let Marc and Laurie know I was familiar with the area and was self sufficient in this area, we did not socialize, but at any time that I or my son contacted them they were always prompt and helpful. This home is well located for a getaway that is not centered on nightlife in YBOR city, but would be excellent for popping over to St Pete for the Dali Museum (or checking out the Treehouse Gallery and Mazzoros), and it is a breeze to get to Tarpon Springs and the beautiful small towns on the coast like Dunedin. Being directly off the Veterans Expressway is also an asset f you are flying in as you are directly connected to the airport, and Tampa has the BEST airport. Also in that same area is the International Mall which has all the shopping you could want, and good restaurants also. I am a fan of this house and while some of the appliance are older or have idiosycisies it was all very functional and great for our needs. BYWbwe made this trip so my son could have reconstructive knee surgery with the team doc for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Dr. Guttentag, cannot say enough good abou him. Those Lightning games are fun also. Tampa Bay has so much to offer, just like this great house!!!

We had a wonderful experience! The home was warm and welcoming. It was a clean and family-friendly space. Liz was great at answering all our questions. She was also very prompt. We highly recommend Liz's condo to anyone visiting the area!

JulieMarch 2015

Liz was very prompt responding to our questions and getting us the information we needed for our stay. The condo was a great size for a family and well-equipped with everything we needed. This was a great home-base for travel in the Tampa area.

AmyApril 2015

Liz was very responsive. Place was exactly as described and as in the pictures. Very convenient location as it's right off the Veterans.

BhavanaMay 2016

Nice and very clean apartment with modern furniture. Location was great - close to shopping, beaches and south Tampa dining. Fast and easy communication with Liz was much appreciated!

VasileJanuary 2016

Liz was a wonderful "host" and communicator. She was always prompt when we needed a question answered, even before we booked, and made sure we had everything we needed. There was a little miscommunication, on our part, about where to find one of the keys to get through the gate and she made sure we had found it and pro-activily checked in with us to make sure everything worked out. The place worked well for us, especially since she had a pack and play, high chair and a few toys my two-year old son was able to use and play with. That paired with the location of the house to Tampa, our friend's house and the various sights of the city made it for a wonderful place to stay. Although we only went the pool once, it was very nice and once again great for little ones because it starts at zero feet and only goes to four feet. The one down side was that there is not Wifi, but with Direct TV and 150 channels, our phones and all the daily activities we didn't really miss it. I would highly recommend others to stay at Liz's condo.

KatieAugust 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Liz apartment. Its exactly as in the pictures, very clean and it was very confortable for us, two adults and two teenagers. Our boys used the pool everyday, we all loved it. The clubhouse is so beautiful and we could rent some books or just relax there. We loved the neighborhood, very calm, green surrounding. Wifi is available at the pool and in the clubhouse but not in the apartment.

PascaleAugust 2016

Great Apartment. Nice location. I think the house actually looked better in person than it does in the pictures.

This accommodation was exactly what we needed since we had an appointment in the area in the morning. Quiet and safe neighborhood, clean and comfortable room. Thanks for having us.

BjorgMarch 2016

Very nice host based on my experience! Please note, unfortunately this review is not based on an actual stay as my boyfriend and I had to cancel our plans to visit Tampa at the last minute due to an unforeseen happening. That said, Nancy was very kind to offer her room to us on Saturday instead of our original Friday booking. Nancy is a very kind and accommodating woman. Correspondence with her was pleasant and prompt. Will definitely look to stay with her in the future when we do plan to be in the Tampa area!

FayeApril 2016

This was really amazing. It started already before the stay. I drove around Florida and had a later arrival than planned, it was not a problem. The house and room looked just like the pictures. The room was very cozy, good mood. Bed was great. Watching a movie with them was a great last night. House at a nice and quiet street, parking at the driveway. If you like a beer, go to the 'House of beer and bbq'. I'll come back to stay here again, it was awesome.

KevinNovember 2016

Nancy and her lovely family have been awesome hosts. they made us feel welcome and at home. they are such nice decent people and we're very happy we got to get to know them and we will definitely come back next time we are back in Tampa !

HoudaJanuary 2016

I could not have enjoyed my stay here more. From the time I arrived (actually before I even arrived) til the time I left I felt so comfortable. The whole family is awesome ! Enjoyed wonderful conversation and food. Nancy really went above and beyond with any question/ need. This is a MUST stay if close to the area!

justinNovember 2016

Although I didn't get a chance to meet Nancy, her parents were wonderful and willing to provide us with anything we needed to be comfortable. Communicating with Nancy was easy and she gave us good advice of some activities we could do while in the area. Room and home were true to the pictures and the bed was super comfy! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

MeganFebruary 2016

I had a GREAT stay! The family's hospitality was amazing. The bed was extremely comfortable and I felt very safe there. The room was extremely clean and nicely decorated. If I'm on a business trip again in that area I will definitely stay.

The barn was said to be originally built just after the Revolutionary War by Major General John Stark for his son Caleb.
The son of Scottish immigrant Archibald Stark, John Stark was born at Londonderry, New Hampshire on August 28, 1728. The second of four sons, he moved with his family to Derryfield (Manchester) at age eight. Educated locally, Stark first came to prominence in April 1752 when he, his brother William, David Stinson, and Amos Eastman embarked on a hunting trip along the Baker River. During the course of the trip, the party was attacked by a group of Abenaki warriors. While Stinson was killed, Stark fought the Native Americans allowing William to escape. When the dust settled, Stark and Eastman were taken prisoner and forced to return to the Abenaki. While there, Stark impressed his captors with his spirit and wilderness skills and was adopted into the tribe.
Remaining with the Abenaki for part of the year, Stark studied their customs and ways. Eastman and Stark were later rescued by a party sent from Fort No. 4 in Charlestown, NH.
After returning home, Stark planned another trip the following year in an attempt to raise money to offset the cost of his release. Successfully completing this endeavor, he was selected by the General Court of New Hampshire to lead an expedition to explore the frontier. This moved forward in 1754 after word was received that the French were building a fort in northwest New Hampshire. Directed to protest this invasion, Stark and thirty men departed for the wilderness. Though they did find any French forces, they did explore the upper reaches of the Connecticut River.
John Stark - French & Indian War:
With the beginning of the French & Indian War in 1754, Stark began to contemplate military service. Two years later he joined Roger's Rangers as a lieutenant. An elite light infantry force, the Rangers performed scouting ...

During Hurricane Matthew we were able to relocate, with our pets, on short notice only because of John and Martha's quick response and generosity. I could not imagine a better place to stay. The barn is beautifully retouched with modern amenities. The rooms were stunning with incredible attention to detail. The largest and most comfortable bed I had ever slept in and a flat screen TV that did not take anything away from the rustic style of the Stark Barn. I would love to have a home as beautiful as the Stark Barn one day.

The barn was said to be originally built by Major General John Stark for his son Caleb just after the Revolutionary War in Dunbarton, NH. There is a picture of Stark Barn in NH prior to dismantling, tagging and reconstruction in Odessa, FL.
John Stark was a General in the Continental Army who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and Battle of Bennington and others. General Stark reinforce General George Washington's troops in Delaware. He was on the panel for the court martial of Major Benedict Arnold for treason and other high crimes. Stark coined the inspirational state motto for New Hampshire “live free or die".
John Stark's father and Caleb Stark's grandfather, Archibald Stark was born at Glasgow, Scotland in 1697, and received his education in the university of that city. When quite young, he went with his father to Londonderry, in the north of Ireland, where he married Eleanor Nichols, the daughter of a fellow immigrant from Scotland.
In 1720 he embarked for America in company with many of his country men, and after a tedious voyage in which his children died, the ship arrived in Boston in late autumn. Many of them arrived ill with smallpox, and they were not permitted to land, but went to the present town of Wiscasset, on the Maine coast, where they spent the winter.
The following year he joined the Scotch-Irish settlers in what is now called Londonderry, where he lived until 1736. His home was about two miles south of the village of East Derry. During that year (1736) his buildings were destroyed by fire, and instead of rebuilding he removed to Harrytown [Manchester] and settled on the Thaxter grant a short distance above Amoskeag falls. He built the house now standing at the east end of the Amoskeag bridge, which was occupied for many years by the widow of Jonas Page.
For the safety of the people in his immediate vicinity a fort was built at Amoskeag, which was called Starks' Fort. On the 9th of March 1747, he petitioned His Excellency, Benning Wentworth, Esq. , that a competent number of soldiers...

A beautiful lake front house with a gorgeous view. Great fishing location right from the backyard. Close to gulf beaches, Busch Gardens, Adventure Island, shopping centers, and more. Feel free to ask for any additional information!

Very secluded house with gate. AMAZING sunsets off private back deck!
Kitchen privileges and separate bar area with clear ice machine, mini refrigerator, sink and pool table.
We interact as much or as little as desired. We are usually in bed early and house is large so that when a guest enters in the side entrance it won't disturb us.

Private estate with almost 2 acres on beautiful ski sized Lake Breckenridge. Very safe with private gated entry.
15 minutes from Veterans Expressway.
There are 2 rooms each with one queen sized pillow top mattress. The 2 rooms are connected with a jack and jill bathroom. There is also an air mattress for an extra fee $10.00 per night.

Mary is a gracious host and made us feel welcome from the start. Her home is beautiful and the lakeside location is truly splendid. Our room with attached bath was perfectly clean and super comfortable. The home is on a peaceful country road, about 20 minutes from the nearest towns. Mary directed us to an excellent restaurant our first night. Tarpon Springs and gulf coast are within easy reach. We enjoyed our stay and getting to know Mary and appreciated her interest in knowing us.

Even the kitchen cabinets and vanities are made from 200 year old original barn wood. The barn/lodge is outfitted with New England antiques and furniture from the 1700's and 1800's. We added modern beds and leather couches, love seats and reclining chairs for comfort for our guests.
Stark Barn has Cable TVs in all bedrooms, sitting areas and family rooms. Free internet access is available.
Guests are allowed access to the property adjoining the barn/lodge. There are pastures surrounding Stark Barn that have livestock and other animals owned by your hosts. For safety, guests are not allowed in the pastures without your hosts.
Your hosts live just three miles from Stark Barn and will welcome you personally, if in town. Summer months may find your hosts sailing S/Y Acadia out of homeport Newport, Rhode Island. Otherwise, a caretaker for Stark Farms lives on the property 24/7 in a separate building and is available to handle any of your needs.

Stark Barn is located in Odessa, Florida, a semi-rural equestrian community 20 minutes outside Tampa, Florida. The lodge fronts on a dedicated paved bike trail which traverses through protected wilderness areas and extends three counties north along the Suncoast Highway to Hernando County, Florida.
The Upper Tampa Bay Trail is located in residential northwest Hillsborough County. Although some missing links, eventually the Upper Tampa Bay Bike Trail will connects to the Suncoast Trail just one mile from Stark Barn. Eventually, the Tampa Bay Bike Trail will connect Stark Barn to St Petersburg, Florida when the missing links are complete.
The Suncoast Trail is a 42-mile paved trail that stretches from Hillsborough County through Pasco and ending in Hernando County. The shared path is owned by Florida Department of Transportation, Turnpike Enterprise, and operated and maintained by the three counties' Parks and Recreation Departments. The majority of the trail is in Pasco County which is 21.6 miles long.
This trail is part of Florida's statewide system of greenways and trails. You can explore maps and descriptions for this and other trails in Florida at their website. There are benches along the entire trail and some sheltered tables as well. You will find two wildlife viewing areas on the Pasco section of the trail. Current access to the trail is available at all crossing of public roads.
You will find certain amenities at some of the intersections such as a port-o-let, restroom, public telephone, water supply or cooler and four information kiosks.
Stark Barn also lies within the Brooker Creek Headwaters, a 1,100 acre wilderness preserve that surrounds the Stark Barn property with hiking trails clearly marked by Hillsborough County. Deer and turkey roam the wilderness area daily and most times join our livestock in our farm property.
Stark Farm is one of two private properties within the Brooker Creek Headwaters. The headwaters preserve contain the largest area of contiguous natural habitat remaining in northwest Hillsborough County, public ownership of this preserve ensures protection of important wildlife habitat and the site's wetlands, which serve as the headwaters of the Brooker Creek system. This property includes a mosaic of forested swamps, floodplains and low-lying uplands. The uplands include pine flatwoods, xeric oak hammocks, and mixed hardwood and pine prairies.
Since 1993, Hillsborough County staff has performed a number of resource inventories that identified an abundance of wildlife and vegetation, some of which are considered threatened or endangered. For this reason, recreational activities on the property are limited to walking and hiking. Jointly acquired by the District and Hillsborough County, the property is managed by Hillsborough County.
Stark Barn is conveniently located 20 miles outside Tampa, 30 miles from Clearwater Beach and St Petersburg and a short 10 miles from Tarpon Springs. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World are 1.5 hours travel time away.
The barn was said to be originally built by Major General John Stark for his son Caleb. John Stark was a Major General in the Continental Army who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and Battle of Bennington, Stark coined the inspirational state motto for New Hampshire “live free or die". Come and relive history at Stark Barn; this is a very unique experience and a “must stay" as the 1776 era is depicted in pictures, books, antiques and in the spirit of the barn.
The daughter of John Stark, Molly Stark was born 9 Sep 1773 in Derryfield NH and died 13 Jan 1828 in Detroit, Michigan. She was married 7 Aug 1802 to Major Benjamin Franklin Stickney, son of Anthony & Ruth (Brown Coffin) Stickney. Major Benjamin Franklin Stickney, came into the Maumee valley of Ohio as early as 1812, not 1816, as supposed. He was Indian agent at Fort Wayne, and took a prominent part in its defense against the Indians, who besieged it in August and September 1812. He was the Indian Agent for the United States at Fort Wayne, and was acting General of the left wing of Gen. Jackson's army, which was composed of Indians (of whom he had a great influence, and whom they called their white Father and Chief) at the battle fought at New Orleans, and was highly complimented by Jackson for his bravery. He was a man of good abilities, fine appearance and good moral character.
After leaving Fort Wayne about 1820, he settled at Swan Creek OH, and he and Samuel Allen founded Vistula, which became part of Toledo. There was a question of boundary between Ohio and Michigan, and Stickney was the leader in the "secession" of the Toledo settlement from Ohio to Michigan, and afterwards, during times of canal speculation, back to Ohio. The last move resulted in the Toledo war of 1835. Of this Stickney was a hero. His eccentricities furnished much amusement, especially his selection of names for his children, the boys being dubbed One, Two, etc., and the girls n...

The pictures provided do not do justice to how immaculate of a dwelling The Stark barn is. John and Martha have an obvious eye for detail and this listing looks like a marvel seen on HGTV. John and Martha were more than accommodating as hosts and made you feel at home, except for the fact that I am sure your home does not compare in quality. The area is located near a beautiful bike trail, and many restaurants are near. Tampa is a 20 minute drive. I would also strongly suggest visiting the Strong Tower Vineyard located a few miles north. If visiting the Tampa/St. Pete area I would highly suggest staying a bit north in Odessa and encompassing yourself in the mecca of Barn converted homes that John and Martha have built.

The ideal place for responsible, quiet adults that also love dogs. Citrus Park Mall & many restaurants are closely,& drive time to RJ Stadium is 20-25 min.There are indoor and outdoor toys to play with from air hockey to basketball, soccer & more! Coffee on the porch watching the sun come up with the horses in the pastures is the perfect start to the day. A fully equipped kitchen,HDTV,WiFi & garage that doubles as a game room-for darts, air hockey,& ping pong-add to the fun. NO PETS & NO SMOKING

The apartment is new, cozy, clean, and well-kept. It was built, but never used by Grandmother, so we have it for random guests and family. We love meeting new people and decided to share it for special events. The farm is spectacular - sitting on the porch at the end of the day, or taking a walk in the morning is refreshing and uplifting.
The large garage part of the apartment home has many games - air hockey, darts, ping pong, etc. We also have a full sized basketball hoop in the driveway, and many outside toys. Guests are welcome to walk around the property, and can request a personal tour of our fabulous horse farm.
We are available to help with anything during your stay and extend the invitation to join us for our family New Year's Eve party (low key fireworks and campfire fun).

www.WestCoastMorgans.com is our farm, and we are in the Odessa/Keysone area - NW Tampa. It is an easy drive to south Tampa and the airport, and we have access to many restaurants and shopping closely.
We recommend Uber or Lyft as they are available and easy.
We have 3 dogs, 2 big ones and one old (deaf and mostly blind) little one. Everyone MUST DRIVE 10 mph or slower in and out of the driveways to avoid hitting a dog or child.

William Stark (April 1, 1724 – August 27, 1776) was a Revolutionary War era officer. He was the brother of celebrated Revolutionary war hero John Stark.
Early life
William Stark was born in Londonderry, New Hampshire.[1] He was with his brother John Stark, David Stinson and Amos Eastman, hunting along the Baker River, a tributary of the Pemigewasset River, on 28 April 1752, when John Stark and Amos Eastman were captured and David Stinson was killed by Abenaki Indians. William escaped in his canoe after being warned by his brother.
Career
During the French and Indian War Stark commanded a company of Rogers' Rangers in northern New York and Nova Scotia where he served under James Rogers. He took part in the assaults on Fortress Louisbourg in 1758, the St. John River Campaign and Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. Early in the American Revolution, Stark did not join the New Hampshire Militia forces in the Siege of Boston, but the sounds of the Battle of Bunker Hill could be heard at his home in Dunbarton, New Hampshire, and he left on his swiftest horse to fight, but he arrived too late and the battle had already ended.
Both General John Sullivan and Colonel Jonathan Moulton recommended Stark to command the new regiment being raised in New Hampshire for service with the Continental Army in the invasion of Canada, but the New Hampshire General Assembly gave the command to Timothy Bedel, a former subordinate of Stark's. Stark, feeling ill-used by his...

PaulinaNovember 2016

What a wonderful quiet little charming place this was. It was clean and comfortable with delightful hosts who allowed us access to their beautiful garden and our daughter got to hold and interact with bunnies and chickens! It made our staycation magical. We only stayed one night, but hopefully will go back to visit and stay again. Delphine and Dean are very friendly and helpful. The fridge was stocked with snacks. The linens clean and fresh. And Delphine sent us home with seedlings to plant in our own garden! We highly reccomend it.

JoanieMarch 2016

Delphine and her family made us feel at home in her Casita. Her home features a beautiful garden with lots of animals. Cute bunnies even new borns. She was even nice enough to offer fruits to take home. The bed was comfortable (best sleep ever). Clean and Beautiful decorations. Delphine included Snacks, soda, beer, and even gave us champagne & chocolates since it was Valentine's Day weekend. Her family made my visit very memorable. I stayed here while visiting Busch gardens and will be visiting the Casita every time we come back.

EricaFebruary 2016

Delphines place was wonderful. She was very accommodating for the times that my boyfriend and I had to stay because we had to go to Tampa to take an exam. The refreshments and snacks were greatly appreciated. She made everything very easy and even helped me get back inside when I locked myself out at 7am. I would highly recommend her place to anyone.

ChelsieOctober 2016

My husband and I just relocated from out of state and stayed at the Casita during our transition. It was a stressful time for us, but Delphine made us feel so welcomed and cared for. Having two dogs we didn't want to stay in a hotel, so the casita was perfect for us. You'll love the cute little touches like homeade dog biscuits, dog beds, and human snacks that make it feel like home. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed staying at Michael's home. Although I only stayed one night, Mike's was a terrific host. During my visit I would give him 10 stars if the scale permitted. He far exceeded my expectations. Thanks Mike for you great hospitality!

PaulJanuary 2016

The house was just as described -- very nice amenities and a great location. My trip was for a relocation from across the country to a start a new job in the Tampa area. Mike not only has a beautiful house -- but he was a kind host. He and another guest staying with him -- shared a couple of very nice meals with me and conversation during the weeks I was a guest. I felt welcome and very comfortable. As a host he shared tips on places to go and information to help me with adjusting to being in a new city. Staying here was better than a hotel because of the personal touches - yet I had as much privacy as I wanted with my own room, TV and bathroom. It was easy to do laundry, etc. I also had a pet with me -- and Mike made sure we both were okay in the space, and had everything we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying with Mike -- it was nice getting to know him (as well as another guest staying in the house at the same time). I would recommend Mike's place to anyone looking for a short stay or for an extended trip to the area. Thanks, Mike!!!!

A beautiful kitchen and I was able to do laundry and relax for the short amount of time I spent there in the evenings. He has several available rooms, so a family could stay there. Hope to stay there on my next trip to see my daughter, her husband and my two young grandchildren. Thanks, Mike!

Street was quiet (house is well insulated) and not on a street with traffic. I returned late and left early during my stay so was not able to enjoy the pool. I also enjoyed the good conversations. Michael is a superb host.

What a gracious host Michael is! He waited up for me when my flight was delayed, even though he had to leave early for work in the morning. There were several choices for breakfast, and he offered that I could help myself to any food in the refrigerator or pantry. He even called to check to make sure that everything was okay on my first full day there. Michael was very flexible when I was undecided about how long my stay would be. He really made me feel comfortable and we had interesting chats. The bedroom, which is on the second floor was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were plenty of hangars in the closet and Michael offered to let me use the washer and dryer. The setting is a new development, which is still being built. The house is tastefully decorated and while the pool looked inviting, I didn't have a chance for a swim. Overall, it was a great stay! Thanks, Michael.

You’ll love my place because of It's coziness and home feel and friendly but quiet neighborhood. It is comfortable for anyone , solo , couples , kids. It is small but has everything you need. . My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

Maria was easy to reach and check-in took less than five minutes - including meeting her and driving to the unit. She was a gracious host and explained everything before giving me the key. The apartment has everything you would need for a stay of a night or longer and she added great little amenities to make you feel welcome. Checking out was equally easy and flexible. Definitely planning a return visit!
